Mitre 10 / Independent Hardware Group Sustainability Commitments
2040
Net zero for controlled sites
Mitre 10 says it aims to reach net zero emissions for sites under Metcash operational control by 2040. Net zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing any remaining emissions with removals or offsets. The target applies to sites the group controls, not necessarily every store in the wider network. The company says this is part of its longer-term climate plan.
2025
100% renewable electricity
Mitre 10 says it plans to move to 100% renewable energy by 2025 for sites under Metcash operational control. Renewable energy means power from sources like wind or solar that can be replaced naturally. The commitment is tied to the company’s operational sites, so it is a specific energy target rather than a broad statement about the whole supply chain.
2025
Reusable or recyclable packaging
Mitre 10 says it will make private label packaging 100% reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025. Reusable packaging can be used again, recyclable packaging can be processed into new material, and compostable packaging can break down under the right conditions. The company says this policy was introduced to reduce unnecessary packaging and give suppliers practical guidance on packaging design.
